Orange #2

The fifth volume of Ichigo Takano's Orange arrives in its French edition from Éditions Akata, and the cover captures something quietly moving — six young friends standing together on a hilltop, their backs to us, gazing out over a sun-drenched city beneath a wide, glowing sky. There's a tender warmth to the scene, the group close enough to touch, framed by that signature golden light the series wears so well. A beautiful 2014 release for fans of heartfelt shōjo manga.
